More sumptuous than a guest house and more homely than a hotel. Ann and Christian Baret invite you to enjoy the comforts and tranquillity of Summerwood. This unique mansion, originally built in 1904, was designed by an Italian architect and has been lovingly restored to meet the demands of the modern traveller. Accommodation Summerwood has only nine bedrooms, so guests here will be assured of exclusivity and an emphasis on personal service. Each en-suite room is individually and tastefully decorated to make you feel as if you are in your very own country retreat. Dining Summerwood has a light and airy country-style dining room where guests can enjoy a full English breakfast while appreciating the impressive view of the surrounding winelands. In summertime, breakfast can be enjoyed around the sparkling pool set in the landscaped gardens. Nearby the guest house are several top restaurants offering a variety of cuisine for discerning taste buds, with impressive wine lists to accompany the meal. Entertainment Summerwood is the perfect base from which to explore the world-renowned Cape winelands. Other nearby leisure activities include golf, historical walks around Stellenbosch, mountain biking, horse riding and hiking. If you’d prefer to stay on the grounds, enjoy a leisurely swim in the pool before unwinding with a drink under the shade of a large Stinkwood tree. |
